County Judge Jerry Scarano also ordered Rose to pay back all the stolen money, Murphy said. Rose, of Jones Road in Wilton, was transferred to Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in Westchester County.

"(The) defendant's theft went on for at least five years, as Rose, who was entrusted to do her employer's banking and open her mail, obtained personal identification numbers and systematically depleted her life savings," Murphy said.

The victim and her family were satisfied with the outcome of the case, Murphy said.
